Earlier this month, Cadillac unveiled the all-new 2026 Cadillac Vistiq, an all-electric three-row crossover set to replace the internal combustion engine (ICE)-powered Cadillac XT6 in the luxury marque’s lineup. While both models offer three rows of seats, the Vistiq and XT6 are substantially different when it comes to the exterior dimensions. Now, GM Authority is lining up both Caddy crossovers in the following exterior dimensional comparison.
Starting with the wheelbase, we find that the Vistiq’s wheelbase measures in at 121.8 inches (3,094 mm), which is a massive 9.1 inches (231 mm) longer than the XT6’s 112.7-inch (2,863 mm) wheelbase. The Vistiq also stretches 205.6 inches (5,222 mm) in overall length, making it 7.1 inches (180 mm) longer than the XT6, the latter of which has an overall length of 198.5 inches (5,042 mm).

In terms of width, the Vistiq is 79.8 inches (2,026 mm) without the sideview mirrors, 2.5 inches (63 mm) wider than the XT6’s 77.3-inch (1,963 mm) width. Additionally, the Vistiq stands taller with a height of 71 inches (1,804 mm), offering a 1.1-inch (29 mm) or 0.8-inch (20 mm) advantage over the XT6’s dual height specifications of 69.9 inches (1,775 mm) and 70.2 inches (1,784 mm), depending on the configuration. Ground clearance details for the Vistiq have yet to be disclosed, although we can mention that the XT6 offers a 6.65-inch (169 mm) clearance.

Beyond its substantially larger exterior dimensions, the Vistiq includes several cutting-edge features that help set it apart. The exterior, for example, shows off Cadillac’s latest EV-centric design language, highlighted by a Black Crystal Shield grille and striking vertical and horizontal lighting elements. Inside, we find a 33-inch digital display on top of the dash.
Under the hood (or floor), the Cadillac Vistiq is motivated by a dual-motor powertrain producing 615 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque. This setup propels the Vistiq from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.7 seconds. Built on the GM BEV3 platform, Vistiq production is set to take place at GM’s Spring Hill plant in Tennessee, with pricing starting at $78,790. Look for the Vistiq to hit the market next summer.
